Bar and Area Graphs

Bar and area graphs display vector or matrix data. These types of graphs are useful for viewing results over a period of time, comparing results from different datasets, and showing how individual elements contribute to an aggregate amount. Bar graphs are suitable for displaying discrete data, whereas area graphs are more suitable for displaying continuous data.
